NBC10_GM Everybody is on the mound and another pitcher bites the dust leaving a man on third. Great defensive play squeezing out the runner.

NBC10_GM Great defensive game. New pitcher. Okajima. The crowd responds to the third ball and then a fourth. BB and the infield comes into the mound.

NBC10_GM 6 innings in two hours. Pretty fast game. CNBC was more frentic today. Maybe that’s it the fans are whooped.

NBC10_GM Perfect catch to end the top of 6th. Napoli had 2 HR last night. Very corporate crowd - school night, no kids a bit sedate.

NBC10_GM A score and an infield double MVP MVP and the dugout comes out to console-advise the pitcher. 2-0 at the top of the 6th.

NBC10_GM Once again, two men on base 1 inscoring position tensions run high the pitcher is nervous, the batter’s swaying ... The crowd is booing

NBC10_GM Two men on base...and the crowd is into it. Been pretty quiet up until now. 3-2 to Drew. Man on third. Left stranded.

NBC10_GM Quick three innings in less than an hour. Crack the bat and the ball - off like a missile at Lester. And we are back at bat.

NBC10_GM He hits everything. Okay, both pitcher and batter are over wrought. Cool play be the second baseman.

NBC10_GM Tough double play to end the inning - though it was more exciting than the first inning. Its getting tense - 2 men on base and Vladimir ... ...

NBC10_GM Shewwww

NBC10_GM Well - an uneventful first inning. John Henry and Tom Werner are in the owners box. 3-2 pitch to BB and a single. You could hear a pin drop.

NBC10_GM This game would not play in black and white. The uniforms are gray with orange and white with red - indistinguishable in B+W

NBC10_GM That’s Rockets red glare. And wonderful memories for Sabeen Staples, singer and Ethan King. “Play Ball!”

NBC10_GM “Welcome to game 4” the field is full of ceremonial people. And the rockets red blare ...

NBC10_GM Talk about well groomed. This field is being preened for play. And now the players first the orange caps.

NBC10_GM The familiar CITGO sign in the distance.

NBC10_GM So traffic is already tough with 90 minutes to game. Should they have wrapped up last night? We wouldn’t be going to this game if they had.

NBC10_GM 52 degrees. and incredibly clear out. Perfect fall night

NBC10_GM Or trek up to Milwaukee where they use a Haarley to bring the pitchers out. Frankly about the same distance as Fenway from Providence.

NBC10_GM And then the Chicago years… The Big Hurt, the strike, the lights went on at Wrigley and for six months there was a home game.

NBC10_GM The next game was Mets versus oh you know who. Since a client of mine bought a spot between Cosby and the game we got to go.

NBC10_GM I was visiting WLS in Chicago. Went to see the new host on AM Chicago. A young strong willed woman from Baltimore. Oprah Winfrey!

NBC10_GM My first post-season baseball game was Cubs versus SD and they won 13-0. Won the battle lost the war. Should have spread those runs out ... ...
